People in their 40's (rock, Nirvana, tunes, cover, classic)

acgfq · 02-13-2008, 03:50 PM

people in their 40's like me tend to have pretty close minded views of music. if i meet one more person my age who only listens to classic rock, i'm going to spit.

I'm 47 and I'm really not saying this to be rude but the poeple you know must suck at music. I have tons of friends in their 40s that are not fixated on classic rock.

SCHOOL THEM !!

Personally, I don't think most people open up musically until they get out of their 20's.
Present company (MB) excepted.

I agree with this or at least 19 years old. I noticed myself and many of my friends becoming more open towards different music and really exploring music and all that is offered out there.

Not to make any of you feel old but I really disagree that people as they get older becoming closed minded. My dad is the prefect example hes around 45 right now and he is into a wide range of music and is open to anything. Its great when I visted him we trade cds. His taste in music is so open to anything and its great you can anything from Beck, Prince, Cher (hehe) the boss to bands artist such as Patrick Wolf, Led, um name anything and he has it.
And its not just him I find a lot of people I know that are 40 plus are a great to talk to about music to learn about new and old music...

Hmm..no offense to any geezers present, but I too have noticed a definite preference to older music in our senior citizens. Which is why I'm so pleasantly surprised when I run into someone different.

Did it cross your mind that's cos they have access to a lifetime of extended listening Marijan?

That doesn't matter, I'd like to think that I'll keep up with the current music scene no matter what age I am. Older folk seem a bit weary in that respect.

Of course, this could all be my usual late night talking-out-of-my-ars-because-I'm-bored-ness...

Which it is...

...unless you intend to dump everything you've heard to date, when you turn 30.

Listening to older music doesn't necessarily have to exclude discovering new music...

I should also note that I don't listen to Nirvana or Stone Temple Pilots nearly as much as I did 10 years ago...
